On a machine used as a desktop, this is a good idea as they are rebooted often and the FHS states that the contents of /tmp should not be relied on to survive a reboot. On a server style machine that is not rebooted often, tmpwatch running in a cron does a good job of this. alan -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
